VH-BGB (3) Cessna 180
Skywagon
(c/n 32462)
Oddly, I have never gleaned photos of the first two
-BGBs. The first, a Tiger Moth which was sold
India in 1948 as VT-CSC I'll probably
never get, but the second was a J/1 Autocrat re-registered
VH-KEV in 1954. I would have
thought that a shot of it as -BGB would be extant somewhere.
Anyway, -BGB the third
was this Skywagon, imported as N6565A for Perth based agricultural
operator Blaxell and
Grummels in January 1963, but sold to NSW that same year.
Merv Prime's
shot above at Jandakot in April, 1965
shows it back in Perth on lease to from Hazelton Air Services
of Cudal, NSW to Air
Culture for an ag season. It crashed at Corowa NSW on 12
September 1969.
